Background and approach

She also supports those navigating gender dysphoria, multicultural challenges, military-related concerns, and non-monogamous relationships.

Online support

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Deanna blends a few practical approaches to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood before any plan is made. This is helpful when someone needs a calm, steady place to talk through emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating concerns.

The Gottman Method provides tools for noticing relationship patterns and improving communication and problem solving. It can be useful when relationship habits contribute to recurring conflicts.

Choosing an approach happens together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she will recommend starting points and adjust methods as progress is made so the work fits the person’s needs.

Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls let people meet face to face without travel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief conversations into a busy day or to follow up between appointments. These options increase flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments.
